UTILIZING SALT.

| Drilling commenced yesterday morning at
the gas well. The drill is now nine hundred
and twenty five feet below the surface.
The LAST salt water, bearing sand passed
through, was near twenty feet thick. 1t
was pebbly sand and was quite prolific of
salt water. 1t has been cased off successfully and
~, more trouble is anticipated from that
sand
Tn to this .s.;me seven sands have been
reached producing salt water. The pressure
is sufficient to put it within one hundred 1eet
of the surface 1t was sugges.eo py one gen
tleman that the salt water from thas well
could be used if gas in paying quantities
was not found. The water is very strong
with salt The per cent will be KNOWN ~ "
few days when Mr.. Tenant gets an instru-
ment for ascertaining that matter
1t is believed, however, that the per
cent is large enough to make
it profitable to work The water could be
pumped with a windmill and distributed in
| watts aud there evaporated by the suns heat,
leaving the salt.
Similar business is made a success in New
| York state where the salt water is pumped
| for fourteen hundred feet. 1t is a fine quail
ty of salt and is shipped all over the United
States
| If this salt proves of good quality the
gentleman thought there would be no ques
ton about the business being made sue
| cess.

BIDS OPENED.

Bids for tie erection of ST. Johns church
were opened Wednesday last. The rector,
Charles J. Adams, has not as yet returned
from Topeka and the contracts have not
been definitely awarded. 1t is known. how
ever, what are the lowest bids and it is con-
sidered an easy job to guess who VIII be the
successful bidders
Mr.. W. Stem is the lowest bidder on
carpenter work. Mike Torrents submitted
the lowest figure on stone work and masonry.
Benson has the lowest bid on plastering. The
Wichita Plumbing. Pump and Supply Com
pany will probably get the work belonging
to their department. Lee & Viele have tbs
lowest on painting. Stewart Bros, iron
work. Caswen s Buckley the galvanized
iron work and slate work. The steam heat
ing has not yet been let. Bids for that de
partment are now being figured on The en-
| tire cost of the building will be near go, 900

North Main. The main building was yester-
day being painted 1t is 4Sx60 and in it will
be placed two saws and two planners to
which the stone to be worked will be brought
by tramway; the material for the frames
is on the ground and consist of very large
solid oak beams 12x12. The workmen were
yesterday engaged in putting up the engine,
a 60-horse power from the Nicol Burr Co.,
Peoria, Ill , in an engine house 20x40 in the
rear of the main building. The Fl. Scott has
constructed a switch to the building. The

A FIvE-STORY BRICK BUILDING.

Architects Dumont & Hayward have near
ly completed plans for an elegant brick block
for Mr. Mike Zimmerly. 1t will be located
on the north side of Douglas avenue, on the
west side of the alley between Market street
and Lawrence avenue. The building will
have front of fifty feet and one hundred
forty feet deep. At first Mr.. Zimmerly con-
templsted making it four stories. He soon
got out of that notion, however, thinking
that such a location is deserving of at least a
five story building. Consequently he has de-
cided to make it five story building. He
claims that he intends to make it one Of the
finest brick business blocks in the city. He
will spare no money or labor to reach that
result.
Mr.. Zimmerly and Architect Terry are now
in Chicago looking after matters pertaining
to the building. All the latest appliances
common in the more modern structures will
be adopted and secured They are expected
to return in a few days, when Mr.. Zimmerly
will Immediately commence operations.
The front and side fronting on the alley
will be of st. Louis pressed brick. The trim
mings will probably be of Warrensburg sand
stone.
The entire building will be heated with
steam. Passenger elevators, probably two,
will be put in to accommodate occupants.
The lower floor vii! be divided into two store
rooms. The other floors will be cut up into
rooms suitable for Offices
LIE oia BUILDINGS now on the site will soon
be removed, and excavations commenceu vi

up among the brick blocks OF the CITY

Some of the parties living on South Empo-

ton of tie street where Emporia is crossed
by Lewis street Lately the water company
crossed the street with a pipe, and it is
claimed that the ditch was not properly
filed Wednesday evening wagon loaded
with brick broke down at the expense OF
wheel and axle in trying to get across the
ditch. Yesterday two wagons, one loaded
with furniture and another with stone,
reached the ditch ana the team was unequal
to the task of pulling them out. One party
claimed that the ditch had bsen filed before
the late rains, but since has assumed an
almost impossible state

TELLING WHAT HE SAW.

A citizen of the second ward was heard
yesterday opposing the plan of hauling gar
ba ye to the Oak street bridge and there
dumping it into the Little river. He stated
that number Of the grccers and fruit men
in the city had got into the habit of hauling
decayed matter, such as had passed its mar
ketable days, to that bridge and there dump
ing it, He had seen several boxes
of meat, one of chicken, dumped
within the last few days and he imagined he
had seen but small per cent of such work.
The fact that caused him to work so strenu,
ously and persisteutly was that the water
company had its station but short distance
that material reached the bottom of the river
before passing the station end hence the
danger that the city was placed in. While
the company get the most of the city
supply from reservoirs. The latter are but 9
few feet from the river and supplied from
the river almost direct. That gave the city
an excellent chance to get full force of The
tainted water.
| He did not place censure on the water com
pany, presuming that they knew moth
ing of the daily program. Ii they
do, however, he thought they ough
to see the city authorities anC
try to get in others differently. He promised
to see the city official, hoping to have TIL
power that be to interfere.
The gentlemen thought that some Of tn
parties who were disposing of their materia
in that matter would not even patronize tn
crem0tor if it was in operation. It cos
nothing to have it dumped, while they woul
be compelled to pay something for its dis
posal otherwise.

BASE BALL.

The following is the relative standing OF
the several clubs of the State League:
Wichita leads. She has won six from EN-
poria and two from Arkansas City and lost
one to Arkansas City, besides winning one
game from an amatuer nine and one exhibit
ton game from Wellington.
Arkansas City is second, with four won
and two lost with Wellington.
Emporia third, six lost to Wichita and
three won from Wellington.
Wellington is fourth, with two won and
four lost with Arkansas City and three lost
to Emporia.
Winfield and Ottawa have both filed their
bonds and been accepted in the State League
As soon as their clubs are complete the
executive board of the State League
will meet and rearrange the
scheduled so as to include these two towns,
which will make things more interesting all
around.
Emporia PLAYED Wichita three good, tight
games out of six but was in hard luck. She
has since braced her club considerably, and
besides catching up with her luck" is play
ing better ball. They will play the Wichitas
an exhibition game here on the 5th of this
month and are going to shut the champions
out if possible, at all events the clubs are too
evenly matched now to make anything but
petty game.
The grand stand will be finished Saturday
nj yht of this week. 1t is the most elaborate
and substantial affair of its kind in the west
and a credit to Wichita
The Springfield, Mo-, club, the crack team
of the Southwestern League, which
the other day threw sand all over
the Hot Springs club to the tune of II to ),
has been secured for two games here, on the
| 18th and 18th of this month.
As there is naturally some rivalry between
the two cities, because Springfield thought
| for a while she could initiate Wichita's boom
both clubs will play to win. The boys from
the Ozark Mountains will learn in little
more than a week from now that Springfield
can't initiate Wichita's base ball club.
| Mr.. Nickle, the Douglas avenue and Mar
ket street cigar man, presented "Ducky'
Hemp with an elegant box of 100 cigars TO,
making the first or winning run in the game
| yesterday.
| Several of the Arkansas City team said
here openly that they would leave the club
unless ''Terrier" Hunter was removed as cap
| tain, for the reason that he was not only dis
agreeable to the men, but by his unbearable
conduct got the audiences down on their club
| wherever they went.
The managers of the Main street theatel
last night favored the Wichita and Arkansas
City boys with complimentary seats at the
performa nee ''Pygmalion and Galetea."
